in 21 years, the fbi is a very different fbi. they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to be able to retrieve documents. they didn't have that in 1993. it's not clear whether they turned this over, whether they missed it and it was not intentional. i think there are a lot of questions, certainly embarrassing for the bureau. but i think we shouldn't assume it was intentionally miss held. >> it makes you wonder, why would the fbi withhold this? >> if the story's true there was a plot disrupted in los angeles as a result of the source. we don't know how important or how close this act came to actually being executed. it raises a lot of questions. >> it does seem like a big omission. >> absolutely. >> a mole within al qaeda spoken, met with osama bin la din. >> i can tell you for having been there, i would have loved to understood this. this was news to me yesterday when i picked up the "washington times." who knew, did they turn this over, was it an oversight. >> people are going to maybe jump to conclusions premajeurely. for
